1:21 video shows the scale of the protest.

Shulamit Ron, Demonstrator: “We hope the world hears us: the people of Israel are not the government of Israel. We don’t agree with the policy; we don’t agree with the way they behave; and we want to have a different future.”

Roi Tzohar, Demonstrator: “The Israeli people are hostages to their right-wing government. The people of Gaza are hostages to Hamas. And, basically, there has to be a way to overcome that and to stop the fighting and the killing. This [demonstration?] is to give everybody hope.”

    I’m Jewish, so I can say it though?

    Do you think pointing out a genocide is like the N word or something?

      I think they were being sarcastic, playing with the criticizing Israel’s government = antisemitism nonsense

        Ah ok, you know it’s hard catching sarcasm when the internet is full of crazy people. That’s why /s exists. Specially hard when this is an actual card played by pro-israel jews.
